The distance depends on the power output and antenna of the other station,
geography and the sensitivity and antennas of your equipment. If the other
station has a lot of power and a good antenna, distances can be up to a
hundred miles if you are in the plains, and less than a mile if they are
portable in mountainous regions.
To sum it all up, there is no answer.

The Lone ranger was being held captive and managed to send a secret
smoke signal to Tonto.

"Help, bring posse"

Tonto shows up two later with three hookers.

Dammit, Tonto I said "posse" not "pussy"!

Amazing what one little typo can do. In the other group, you left out the
ending 'r' and got all good answers. Here, it's a different story
altogether.

The biggest difference I get is dependent on which freq they transmit on....
for 75 mhz I get about 30 mile, 480 mhz I get about 5 mile
As pointed out by others, there are sooooo many factors....
